EFFORTS TO PROTECT THEM Millinery Merchants' Protective Asso ciation Enlisted In Their Benalf Notes, Habits and Study of Vays of Birds. BY EDWARD B. CLARK. (Ansoclate Mcmlior American Ornllhol okIkIh' I'nloii.) (f'opyrlRht, Joscpli U. Howies.) It Is something much moro than passing strange that tho family of birds at onco tho most beautiful, tho most graceful nnd tho most Innocent of all feathered creatures should bo tho ono that man, or, better, woman, has chosen as a shining mark for death. Stand upon tho shoro of the Atlan tic nnd hovering upon light wing nbovo tho waves you will seo a gull Wilson's feathered In dellcato pearl gray with wing tips of black and white. Stand upon tho shoro of one of tho great lakes and tho same bird will be found picking up Its dally bread from tho face of tho fresh water. Float In your canoe with tho current of tho Mis sissippi and jour gray clad friend of tho Atlantic and tho lakes will bear you gontle company. The public little knows the bird tight it was a light, nothing less that was waged for years before tho men who had espoused tho causo of the Innocents could clnim a victory. Undo Sam took a hand In the fight and put himself at tho head of the little band of bird partisans. Tho men who engaged In tho conflict had first to overcomo that most potent of all weapons, ridicule. Thoy were called dreamers and "old women," but the blows they struck soon knocked tho thought that they were weakling? sen timentalists out of tho heads of their antagonists. Tho gulls nnd tcrn3 perhaps best known to tho people of tho United Slates aro tho herring gull already named, Uonapnrto's gull (Larus Phila delphia), Wilson's tern (Sterna hlrun lo) and tho black tern (Hydrocholidon nigra surlnnmcnsls). A sum of money known as tho Thayer fund Is being The Black Tern, Nest, used this year for tho protection of tho gulls and terns upon their breed lug islands nlong tho Atlantic coast. Tho black torn, howovor, gots llttlo of tho boneflt of this protection, for It nests largely In tho marshes of tho In land. This beautiful bird, with Its foro part n glossy black, which takes on nn Irldesconco In tho nunshlno, has been shot so ruthlessly that hundreds of Its former haunts know It no more. Llko tho herring and tho llonnparto gulls, It Is at homo practically In all parts of tomporato North America, or It would bo nt homo If man, as haply now ho will, would but allow It to domesticate Itself. There aro fow sights In uaturo moro beautiful than tho view of a nesting colony of black terns, ns the old birds glide backward and forward, turning as lightly as swallows abovo tholr nests llng at tho base of tho bonding Hags. Tho black tern has been In such demand for millinery purposos that n man with knowledge of tho nesting place of u colony In his breast and with u shotguu In his hand has been ablo to niako a month's wages In n day's shooting. Thore is something ubsolutoly conscienceless about tho method of kllllug tho terns. The mar ket huntor seeks nut tho nesting place, Hushes tho birds from tholr nosts, nnd while thoy hovor about IiIb head, ut- the mtKzisz&rL-Ll--mtauM a. . ,- i. - ' 1 aSSUE Sw FOR FASHION terlng cries of fear nnd of distress at tho danger which they supposo threatens their nests, ho shoots them down ruthlessly. Tho survivors scorn lngly do not understand whnt has hap pened to tholt murdorod fellows and thoy continue to cliclo about the head nf tho Intruder until tho last ono Is sacrificed on tho nltar of fashion. This Is a dark picture, but thero is a llghtur ono. All along tho Atlantic coast upon tho Islnnds where tho her ring gull, tho Honnpartcs, tho klttl wakes (Rlnsa trldaetyln) nnd tho oth er sou birds build, thero aro stationed this summer men who havo the au thority of the law to stop tho slaughter of tho birds and to prevent the steal ing of their eggs. Thoso nion aro ab solutely fearless. Thoy must needs be, for tho class which preys upon tho birds Is Irresponsible and often willing to commit nny crlnio rather than to havo ended their lucratlvo occupation of bird murder. The Thayor fund, which Is used for tho employment of wardens for tho protection of sea birds, Is not a largo sum, but under tho direction of Wil liam Dutchor, treasurer of the Amer- Tern. lean Ornithologists' Union, a small amount of money has been mado to do largo service. Another story was told by theso re turned summer residents of tho Is lnnds. They said that In many cases tho birds would fall wounded boforo tho shots of tho market hunters, and, still living, would bo picked up to havo their wlng3 torn off, tho birds then being tossed to tho beach to linger for awhllo and to die In agony. It was shown that In some cases whero the birds hnd been but slightly wound ed they had mnnaged to survive oven tho tearing away of their wings and that In many places on tho Islands thero wero wingless birds picking up a precarious living which would bo theirs only until tho winter came and frozo tholr Innocent lives. Tho gulls whose wings wero torn oft were thoso whoso body plumngo was In too poor a condition for tho market. Thoro was an Investigation of theso stories of horrid cruelty. Thoy wero found to bo true. It an additional spur were needed to quicken tho movement for tho protection of tho gulls nnd terns It was found In tho recital of theso tales of tho Inhumanity of tho gunners. Money was raised, wardens wero appointed and the birds Young and Eggs. wero protected through the time of their nesting. Hero Is nn answer to such doubters. It Is only ouo caso among hundreds, nnd It Is far from being tho most fla grant of thoso reported. A man nnmed Small something In a namo possibly shot gulls and torns for tho market. In tho sevon days ho killed 2,625 birds. Tho selling price was 12 cents for each victim. Smnll's weok's work of slaughter brought him In something oyer $300. Tho movemont for tho piotcction of the birds nlong tho Atlantic started a similar movement on tho great lakes and along tho const of California. Many of the gulls nnd torns breed In the Islands of northern Lnko Michigan and on tho islands and along tho shores of Huron nnd Superior. Moral suasion rather than monoy was used In tho western torrltory. It Is n sad commentary, perhaps, on humun na turo that tho oxpcrlenco of tho bird protectors has shown thnt money, cash down at that, has been moro effectlvo In saving tho birds than an appeal to tho sympathies of men nnd women. When the day comes that soes no freo wild bird riding on tlroless pin ions above tho lashing wnvos of lnko and ocean tho watorsldo for him who seeks it in tho lovo of nature will havo lost much of Its prosent potent charm. WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS TO THE BUYER Fow people realize the Importance of tho words "Trado Mark" stamped on tho goods they buy. If thoy did it would Favo them many a dollar spent for worthless" goods and put a lot of unscrupulous manufacturers out of the business. When a manufacturer adopts a trade mark he assumes the entire re sponsibility for tho merit of his prod uct Ho takes his business rcpu tlon In his hands out in tho llmo light "on tho squaro" with tho buy er of his goods, with tho dealer, and with himself. Tho other manufacturer- tho ono who holds out "inducements," offer ing to brand all goods purchased with each local dealer's brand sidesteps responsibility, and when theso Infe rior goods "como back" It's tho local dealer that must pay tho penalty. A good cxamplo of tho kind of pro tection afforded tho public by a trado mark Is that offered In connection with National Load Company's adver tising of pure White Lead as tho best paint material. That tho Dutch Doy Painter trado fnark is an absoluto guaranty of puri ty In White Load is proved to tho most skeptical by tho offor National Lead Company mako to send freo to nny address a blow-plpo and Instruc tions how to test tho white lead for Vh6inselvea. Tho testing outfit Is bo ng sont out from the Now York ofllco of tho company, Woodbrldgo Dulldlng. On the Doctors. Mrs. Mary O. linker Eddy, who, of course, has no faith in medicine, told a Western Christian Scientist, at ono of her. latest audiences, an anecdote about a friend of hers. This frland, a thin and nervous woman, could not sleep. Sho visited her physician and tho man said: "Do you eat anything Just bofore Bolng to bed?" "Oh, no, doctor," the patient re plied. "Well," said the physician, "Just koop a pitcher of milk and some bis cuit bosldo you, and ovory night, the last thing you do, mako a light meal." "But doctor," cried tho lady, "you told mo on no account to eat anything boforo retiring." "Pooh, pooh," said the doctor, "that was three months ago. Science has made enormous strides since then." Cape Cod Fog. "Yes," remarked the Down Easter, "wo do havo fog along Cape Cod some times. One night tho fog came up and in the morning when I went to milk I couldn't find the old cow. Know where sho was In tho habit of lying, though, and followed hor easy enough. Got to her just In time, too. "Why, I just went through tho hole she made in tho fog sort of a tunnel llko and pretty soon I camo up to her. She was almost smothered. You see the fog had packed ahead of hor and she'd jammed her horns into It and got stuck. Had to chop her out. You may believe It or not, but I'll show you the cow any time you come 'round.'
